Summary: The study found that nitrogen-deficient and boron-doped g-C3N4 can be used for photocatalytic H2O2 production, where the reaction mechanism is mainly influenced by the interaction between active species and proton donor. Among different reaction mechanisms, 1O2, center dot O2- and holes play dominant roles, while H2O2 generation may be limited by the dissociation of proton donor or desorption of H+ on the catalyst surface.

Summary: FSH plays a crucial role in the development and growth of ovarian follicles, promoting the maturation and steroidogenic activity of the enclosed oocyte. It has been shown to have survival and growth-promoting effects in earlier-stage preantral follicles. Understanding the effects of FSH beyond antral follicle growth is important for improving fertility programs.

Summary: The glycoprotein FSH plays a critical role in the development of ovarian follicles, promoting growth and steroidogenesis. It has been found to have survival and growth-promoting effects in earlier-stage preantral follicles as well. Studies in rodents and domestic animals have provided evidence for the role of FSH in regulating the growth and survival of preantral follicles. Further research in this area could lead to the development of more effective fertility programs.

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as secondary messengers that activate signal transduction and alter gene expression. The chemical identity and subcellular origin of ROS determine the transcriptome response. Transcriptomic studies on altered ROS metabolism in plant peroxisomes reveal common transcriptional footprints involved in metabolic pathways, gene regulation, and plant responses to abiotic stresses. Human orthologs of peroxisomal-dependent proteins are associated with cancer pathologies. Peroxisomal footprints provide valuable insights into peroxisomal functions in cellular metabolism under normal and stress conditions.

Summary: LPS-preconditioned DFC-sEV can effectively be used as an auxiliary method for periodontitis treatment through antioxidant effects in the subgingival environment. It reduces the RANKL/OPG ratio of PDLSCs under inflammatory conditions by inhibiting the ROS/JNK signaling and promotes macrophages to polarize toward the M2 phenotype via ROS/ERK signaling. Loading LPS-preconditioned DFC-sEV with the HA injectable system allows sustained release of sEV and enhances therapeutic efficacy for periodontitis in canines.

Summary: This study investigates the decomposition of H2O2 over six different iron minerals and finds hematite and goethite to be the most promising minerals for environmental cleanup due to their high ROS production. Magnetite and maghemite are highly active for both H2O2 decomposition and O-2 production at neutral and basic pHs. Ferrihydrite and feroxyhyte, on the other hand, are problematic minerals for CHP as they have high O-2 production and negligible ROS generation at all pHs.

Summary: This study synthesized a series of ultrathin two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks nanosheets and demonstrated their potential for pollutants degradation. By systematically tuning the metal species, the formation of reactive oxygen species could be significantly enhanced, which is crucial for the degradation of organic micropollutants.

Summary: In this study, a nanozyme-loaded hydrogel, Fe3O4-CaO2-Hydrogel, was modified and analyzed as a root canal disinfectant material. The results showed that Fe3O4-CaO2-Hydrogel exhibited excellent release profile, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity against E. faecalis and S. sanguis biofilms. It also effectively eliminated the root canal bacterial biofilm and prevented inflammation expansion in vivo.

Summary: Through a mouse gastric lavage model, it was found that exposure to 3-MCPD affects body growth, decreases the ovary/body weight ratio, increases atretic follicle numbers, and decreases the expression levels of follicular development-related factors. Further studies revealed that 3-MCPD exposure activates the TGF-beta signaling pathway, promotes ovarian fibrosis, and indicates the occurrence of ovarian inflammation. Moreover, exposure to 3-MCPD stimulates caspase pathway, disrupts mitochondrial function, increases reactive oxygen species, ferrous ion, and lipid peroxidation levels, and reduces oocyte development potential.

Summary: This study presents a synergistic strategy to enhance the efficiency of Cu-Fenton reactions at near-neutral pH by introducing MoO3 cocatalyst and creatinine assistant. The introduced CuCr2/MoO3 cocatalytic system exhibits excellent activity, facilitating the rate-limiting step of Cu-Fenton reactions and enabling efficient decomposition of H2O2 for ROS generation. This system shows great potential in Cu2+ detection, ROS-based chemodynamic therapy, and sterilization.

Summary: This study investigated the catalytic ozonation of ZnO2, finding that the catalyst enhanced the degradation of micropollutants under ozone. The ZnO2/O3 system achieved significant degradation of CYP, with a 99% degradation rate compared to only 17% with ozone alone.

Summary: Seed viability is crucial for agriculture, affecting seedling emergence and crop yield. Factors such as high temperature and humidity can accelerate seed deterioration, leading to membrane damage, reduced respiratory rates, and oxidative damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Repair processes may occur during early stages, but if critical components are damaged, the seed may fail to germinate.
